The main thing I remember about episode 12 is that it took FOREVER to get done filming. It had lots of small scenes in specific locations which couldn’t be scheduled with other work. There were also numerous conflicts with actor schedules between other episodes that were shooting at the same time. Also, we had to get several of our cast to New York for the Macy’s Parade, Regis and Kelly and the Carson Daley show, etc. There was also a situation where many scenes in this episode also appear partially in other episodes. The bomb sequence that concluded episode 11 recurs here but re-visualized and with new elements – including the dialogue with Nathan and the introduction of Christopher Eccleston – but Chris Eccleston, who’s from England, had issues with getting a work visa in time which delayed shooting his shots… The final scene where Peter walks away from the hospital on the NYC Street also plays in episode 13 – not enough work for two nights, but too much for one…. There are two scenes of Claire and the Haitian at the oil derrick in this episode and one in episode 13 - which is a distant location – we had to shoot all three in one day, in the eight hours of available November daylight (i.e. that’s FAST!!!)... The museum scene with Hiro and Ando was shot at the L.A. Natural History Museum – which was only available from 6 PM to 6 AM... The crew shot until dawn and then many (including the director) had to go directly up to the PrimaTech paper company to film scenes from this episode and episode 11. There was one brief scene of Hiro and Ando running out of the museum in day NYC which didn’t schedule with anything. We started filming the padded cell with Ali Larter – but there were problems with the set that caused us to have to stop and re-work it. Hayden Panettiere got sick, etc. etc. – All of this resulted in the episode shooting many partial days and having many “hold” days -- we were actually finished with most of episode 14 before we had12 completely finished.
